Author Hazel's comments on writing 'Seiko the Watch Dog'

'I like playing with words. That's why the idea of a watchdog and microchips interest me. The character of Seiko is partly based on our family dog Phantom who likes to sniff things out on walks.

When I think of a story, I like to do 'participant-observer' research which means I get to do fun things, such as hot-air ballooning, trekking through Nepal and belly dancing. Then I base my stories on what I have learnt.'

"I know what it's like to be a watchdog because I used to be a security guard. My job was to patrol a building at night,just like Seiko. But, instead of being alert and looking out for cat burglars,I used to draw pictures at night.
